Job 4:17-21
New King James Version
17 ‘Can a mortal be more righteous than God?
Can a man be more pure than his Maker?
18 If He (A)puts no trust in His servants,
If He charges His angels with error,
19 How much more those who dwell in houses of clay,
Whose foundation is in the dust,
Who are crushed before a moth?
20 (B)They are broken in pieces from morning till evening;
They perish forever, with no one regarding.
21 Does not their own excellence go away?
They die, even without wisdom.’
Job 4:17-21
American Standard Version
17 Shall mortal man [a]be more just than God?
Shall a man [b]be more pure than his Maker?
18 Behold, he putteth no trust in his servants;
And his angels he chargeth with folly:
19 How much more them that dwell in houses of clay,
Whose foundation is in the dust,
Who are crushed [c]before the moth!
20 [d]Betwixt morning and evening they are [e]destroyed:
They perish for ever without any regarding it.
21 [f]Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them?
They die, and that without wisdom.
